Urogen Flashcards
Narrowest points of male urethra
- Membranous urethra - External urethral orifice
- Bladder neck
- just proximal to navicular fossa
Anatomical relations of vagina - posterior
- Pouch of Douglas
- Rectum
- Perineal body
- Anal canal
Superior relations of the bladder
Apex joined to anterior abdominal wall - median umbilical ligament
Covered by peritoneum
Related to colis of ileum or sigmoid colon
Blood supply to bladder
- Superior vesical artery
- Inferior vesical artery
(Both from internal iliac)
Parts of male urethra
- Prostatic urethra - widest lumen, bounded by internal and external urethral sphincter
- Membranous urethra - 2cm pierces urogenital diaphragm, pelvic #
- Bulbar urethra - straddle injuries, takes a 90degree angle
- Penile urethra - spongy part, travels through corpus spongiosum
Pelvic diaphragm
Separates the perineum from pelvic cavity
- Levator ani
- Coccygeus (s4,s5)
Nerve supply to clitorus
Internal pudendal nerve
Anatomical relations of the vagina - anterior
- Uterine cervix
- Base of bladder
- Urethra
Lateral relations of vagina
- Ureter
2. Pelvic diaphragm
Venous drainage of vagina
Internal iliac
Lymphatic drainage of vagina
Upper 1/3rd - internal and external iliac LN
Lower 2/3rd - superficial inguinal nodes
Lymphatic drainage of external genitalia
Superficial inguinal LN
Lymphatic drainage of scrotum
Inguinal LN
Lumbar nodes
Blood supply of testis
Testicular artery - directly from abdominal aorta (follows embryological decent of testis down the posterior abdominal wall in to deep ring and through the inguinal canal and out via the superficial ring in to the scrotum
Layers of scrotum
- Skin
- Superficial fascia
- Spermatic fascia
- Tunica vaginalis
- Capsule - tunica albuginea
